More Baby Shower Madness! Meghan Celebrates With BFFs At NY's Polo Bar
Feb. 20 2019, Published 6:52 p.m. ET
Meghan Markle took a huge bite out of the Big Apple on her baby shower tour!
The diva Duchess, who is seven months pregnant, made a surprise trip to New York City so her friends could throw her an American baby shower on Tuesday, February 19, 2019, as RadarOnline.com previously reported.
Such stars as Gayle King and Amal Clooney attended the official shower at the Mark Hotel.
But the pregnant Princess wasn't done partying. Later that same day, as RadarOnline.com's new photos show, pregnant Markle was feted again--at an intimate gathering of only her very closest friends!
Markle, 37, showed up at Ralph Lauren's exclusive Polo Bar restaurant in New York on Tuesday night to share laughs and get mothering tips from her pals Serena Williams and Jessica Mulroney.
Prince Harry's wife got love from them after her loose cannon father, Thomas, recently released a personal letter his daughter had sent to him.
The former Suits star bundled up in a black maternity jacket and stiletto boots to socialize with her besties at the high-end eatery.

Markle and her party spent three hours dining at the Polo Bar. Guests including tennis star Williams and Canadian fashion stylist Jessica Mulroney, who has reportedly been helping the ex-actress with her clothes choices for years.
Prince Harry's wife glowed with pregnancy joy but had to cover up in a big $3,085 Victoria Beckham coat and black scarf to ward off the New York chill.
With a little help from my friends! Williams and Mulroney laughed all night with Markle, whose life changed dramatically after she married Harry in May 2018. Both women are already moms. The tennis great is raising daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., 1, while Mulroney has three children: twins Brian and John, 8, and daughter Isabel, 5.
Markle looked serene on her night out but as RadarOnline.com readers know, for months, she's been publicly slammed, with many calling her a diva Duchess.
In royal biographer Robert Jobson‘s book Charles at 70: Thoughts, Hopes and Dreams, he claimed that before the royal wedding, Prince Harry raised his voice and yelled, “What Meghan wants, she gets!” What she wanted on Tuesday was to share her baby joy with close friends at baby shower events.
Also attending Markle's dinner was her close friend Markus Anderson, a consultant for the organization behind the exclusive private members' club Soho House. Anderson, is thought to have been the matchmaker who set up Markle and Harry.
Markle seemed happy to be back in her native America, if ever so briefly. She was seen linking arms with her pal Anderson as they headed into the Polo Bar restaurant together. Later, Markle and Williams were spotted arriving back at their lavish hotel, The Mark, on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Markle was escorted into the restaurant by officers from the State Department and royal protection officers. The Duchess seemed to be joking with one of the female officers guarding her. It won't be long now until she gives birth to her first child with Harry!
